The hotel is situated in a historic area within walking distance of the city center, offering convenient access to the main attractions. The rooms, although showing signs of wear, are meticulously cleaned daily by the dedicated housekeeping staff. The service is friendly and helpful, although communication can sometimes take longer due to busyness. Overall, it's a grand hotel with a comfortable ambiance and good restaurant options nearby.

I was truly amazed by the majestic and luxurious feel of the hotel. The classical music playing in the background added a special touch. The variety of choices in the superior room I stayed in was impressive, but a small downside was the lack of a view.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were lovely, very clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. However, there were some noises from the ceiling and the aircon that were a bit bothersome. The service was top-notch, especially with my perfectly made cappuccino every morning, but there were issues with the staff being rude at times. The location couldn't have been better, so close to all the main attractions. The dining experience was nice overall, especially in the beautiful restaurant. The facilities were great, with everything in perfect condition.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were elegant with traditional furnishings and modern ensuites, thanks to the lady who kept them tidy every day. The only downside was the closed fire door marked 'Private Staff Only'. The service was excellent, especially with finding us free street parking. The location was perfect, near the main attractions and with plenty of amenities nearby. The dining experience was amazing, offering tasty treats for those with a sweet tooth. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel has a mix of features worth considering. The rooms, although big and brand new with huge curtains and modern ensuites, face challenges like doors closing early with the need to call for entry. The service stands out for being helpful, complementing the perfect location, ideal for exploring and sightseeing. Dining might lack variety, but the quality is good. A definite need for urgent renovations is a drawback.

I stayed in room 150, which the hotel described as a superior room. The room was spacious with good lighting and matched the images on Booking. The hotel had some positives like furnished with antiques, but there was a need to request herbal tea and a jug directly to the room.
